Re: [Bug-wget] Google Summer of Code 2016

[Kushagra Singh]

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. I went through the repository and the issues,
and found a couple of things I would like to work on.

I have a couple of questions about Wget2. Is it a complete rewrite of the
Wget project, available at git://git.savannah.gnu.org/wget.git, or are we
using existing code and extending functionality? I guess it is the second
one because I saw `libwget` in the repo. However if such is the case, then
how do we change existing functions in wget? For example, implementing [2]
would require making changes to the file cookies.c, which is present in
/src in the wget repo, but not in /src in the wget2 repo.

I was looking at #43 [1], and have already submitted a patch for
consideration for the first suggestion [2]. The second suggestion mentioned
[3] is one of the things I'd like to work on, however this is not something
which will take three months :)

Another project I am interested in, is implementing FTPS. I saw this listed
under one of the ideas of GSoC 2015, but I'm not sure whether it was
implemented, as I didn't see it under 'Development Status' in the wget2
readme on Github.

Also, in #67 [4], we are talking about adhering to some specific parts of
RFC 7230. I'm not sure which all parts would be right, as the discussion
thread mentions that it won't be good to stick to each point of the RFC.
WDYT?
